Description Marco Benatto 2020-07-27 20:48:09 UTC
"grub2 contains a use-after-free vulnerability which can be triggered by redefining a function whilst the same function is already executing."

Comment 2 Marco Benatto 2020-07-29 15:33:52 UTC
Defining a new function with the same name as a previously defined function causes the grub_script and associated resources for the previous function to be freed. If the previous function is currently executing when a function with the same name is defined, this results in use-after-frees when processing subsequent commands in the original function.
